They are okay for the price. Didn’t wow me.

I play professionally--soloing mostly jazz and "country" with some classical, at times. On my violin (Think it's a late 19th century Maggini copy with dark sound), they sound balanced, warm and smooth. Takes a few hours to settle. They last for three months if heavy playing and then get a bit tired(harsh, unfocused). So, at this price, slap on another set!Frankly, I've found what I want with Karneols.

The Karneol set is even better with the Russian A string. The Karneol set is very good but the A string got a bit dead after a while.

I am about to replace my second set of Karneols with my third set. They work VERY WELL on my violin. They have a warm complex sound with lots of depth. They also age very well. In the past I used a couple sets of Warchal Brilliants (excellent sound), but wore out faster than the Karneols. I liked Tonica's a lot; I like DiAddario Helicore's and use them on my backup violin. Violin strings are always going to be subjective and need to be match to a given instrument, but I have had nothing but good experiences with WARCHAL brand strings.

Two things...1) the A string head broke off during the initial post tuning playing session. I have never had this happen before and I did NOT tune it an octave too high2) the other strings sounds like an average set of inexpensive steel strings. They are not terrible, but far from great.I have used various Warchal strings many times and I really like some of them. This is my first time with the Karneols.Shar music has been sending notifications that they are seeing counterfeit stings sold on Amazon. I would not be surprised if this is the case with what i got.

These strings are $35 and sound that way. You're looking for those mythical good strings that don't cost $90: these aren't the strings you're looking for. They sound metallic and cheap. The D-string is especially awful.

These are warm and very resonant strings. For my instrument, it's likely the best sounding one I've used so far; this was commented by many teachers. After the strings settle, they are very stable; I barely had to tune after the first week or two. The wrappings are beautiful and the packaging is also nice. You can also save the strings for recycling with the manufacturer.That said, the E did not last very long compared to other string sets I've used but this is a very affordable set.

The sound is warm. It suits my violin better than Tonica strings, especially the G string. The E string worn out so fast, but you can replace it with Gold Label E.
